September 26 will be the first lecture of the project "Academic Readings" of the NRNU MEPhI 2018-2019. The lecture is traditionally opened by Academician-Secretary of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Valery Tishkov.

The scientific leader of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology. N.N. Miklukho-Maklay RAS, the leading Russian center for the study of ethnicity, devoted many years to the study of conflicts on ethnic grounds. Valery Alexandrovich even conducted a unique study of society in the situation of armed conflict, which glorified domestic ethnology throughout the world.

But what is the nature of ethnic conflicts? Can we talk about the historical prerequisites for clashes of different ethnic groups? Which of these confrontations remain unresolved and now? And how can you prevent them?

To students of MEPhI these questions will be answered by the founder of the scientific direction of ethnopolitical research in Russia, and after his speech everyone will be able to ask their questions.

The lecture will take place at 16.15 in the assembly hall of the NNIU MEPhI.

We invite all lecturers, students and employees of the University to the lecture!
